Bound by Tradition
Roots of American Music Weekend, Damrosch Park at Lincoln Center, (212) 875-5108. This may be one of the vaguest ideas for a festival this summer, but its also free. Lincoln Center has put together a handful of acts that have very little to do with one another except that the music they will be playing today through Sunday is somewhat traditional. The only bill that has any unity is tonights rockabilly lineup, with the riveting bass voice of Sleepy LaBeef, the whisper-to-a-yelp singing of Rosie Flores and the warbling Sun Records-style cool of Sonny Burgess. Otherwise, its a pretty good grab bag, with the soul balladeer Percy Sledge singing about when a man loves a woman, the Canadian folk impressionist Ferron singing about when a woman loves a woman and the Irish belters the Clancy Brothers (just two brothers and a nephew nowadays) singing about when a man loves a drink, all on Sunday. Tomorrow, Taj Mahal, Doug Kershaw, Front Range and others perform. The concerts start at 8 tonight, and at 3:30 tomorrow and Sunday afternoons. NEIL STRAUSS.

THE WEEK AHEAD: Aug. 13 - 19; POP/JAZZ
Lincoln Centers summer presentations can have a suspicious resemblance to those of its regular season: operas and avant-garde theater at the Lincoln Center Festival, symphonies and ballets at Mostly Mozart. But the Out of Doors series uses the vast Lincoln Center campus as nothing else does, or can, by putting on free concerts in seemingly every square of concrete. For the last 23 years a highlight of Out of Doors has been the ROOTS OF AMERICAN MUSIC FESTIVAL, a two-day cornucopia of country, blues, bluegrass and folk. This year the focus is on blues and soul, and though the festival officially begins on Saturday, Fridays show serves as an appropriate prelude. GUY DAVIS, who follows Taj Mahal as a reverent modernizer of country blues, will be joined by the jazz players CHICO HAMILTON and BUSTER WILLIAMS; BETTYE LAVETTE, who sings burly yet sensual R&B; and the bluegrass singer HAZEL DICKENS. At 7 p.m., Damrosch Park Bandshell, (212) 875-5766. Saturday features PERCY SLEDGE, whose When a Man Loves a Woman, a No. 1 hit in 1966, is a lamenting, love-is-madness blues disguised as soaring soul. (Hed give up all his comfort/Sleep out in the rain/If she said thats the way it ought to be.) Also on the bill is EDDIE FLOYD, whose Knock on Wood is a textbook example of the kind of Memphis funk-soul perfected at Stax Records in the mid-60s. MAVIS STAPLES, one of the headliners next Sunday, is another Stax alumna: her family group, the Staple Singers, made pioneering records in the 60s and 70s like Ill Take You There that updated gospel with seductive funk. It wouldnt be a summer roots-music concert without some cross-pollination, and so Ms. Staples will sing country with MARTY STUART AND HIS FABULOUS SUPERLATIVES, who lived up to their name by releasing three albums in the last year. Saturday and next Sunday from 2 to 9 p.m., Damrosch Park Bandshell and North Plaza.

Hearts Laid Bare in Old-Fashioned Love Songs
Voices were strong and hearts were wounded when the Royal Soul Explosion appeared here tonight at the Westbury Music Fair. The all-star soul revue was a respectful showcase for seven singers -- Jerry Butler, Gene Chandler, Chuck Jackson, Ben E. King, Lloyd Price, Percy Sledge and Irma Thomas -- who made hits in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. With the Uptown Horns band led by G. E. Smith on guitar and Peter Wolf as a dancing M.C., the revue set out to be something more than a typical oldies show. The format was intended to recall the package tours through which most rhythm-and-blues stars paid their dues, and it brought out the magnificent fusion of churchly fervor and show-business shtick that they polished on the rhythm-and-blues circuit. The songs, meanwhile, reaffirmed old-fashioned adult romance, realistic but still heartfelt..
